Thread: My friend and why I let you guys hardscape

My good friend asked me to price replacing his RR tie steps with stone. I told him I don't do that but from what I read on LS he should find a hardscaper who can give standard prices on steps like that. I told him he should expect no less than 5K. He was shocked. I told him to get a small patio with the steps and make the area nice- I thought 8-10K.

A month goes by and he called me down for an aeration on the weekend. He showed me a bid his neighbor gave him for $900. not 9K- no no $900. 7 steps there now maybe a 5 or 6 foot drop but the area is so un-level to begin with and it is all dirt with nothing underneath. 30" gate in the fence is 75 foot from where he wants the steps-or they can carry the mats through the house!

Chris I hope you took my advice and came to LS this morning. This is the section you should be looking atcall me
